City Buildings Updates
CC 2021-04)
Administrator Olson reported that the cost estimate plan and the furniture plan are still being finalized.
The goal is to have them ready for review at the September 14,2021, City Council meeting and vote by
the September 28,2021,City Council meeting. Staff went to Chicago last week for a furniture visit and
met with three separate vendors. The overall favorite vendor was the less expensive option. They spoke to
the architect regarding the wall in front of the window in the Chambers. One of the windows will have a
column that will impact the window. Their suggestion is to shrink the size of the backdrop and reduce the
number of windows. They are also looking to raise the ceiling from a few inches to possibly a foot in
some areas.
Administrator Olson reported that they are waiting for approval from IDOT for the Kendall Area Transit
study on the Public Works building.

Grande Reserve Elementary School from 5:00 p.m.—7:00 p.m.this will be open-house style. Staff
members and public officials will be there from each town to answer questions(costs will not be available
at this time). The water conservation measures were reviewed at the Public Works Committee meeting in
August. The Public Works Committee directed staff to draft regulations that implement the water
conservation measures and bring them back to the September Public Works Committee meeting.
Administrator Olson stated the timeline for the Joliet option still has not changed. Joliet would like us to
commit by the end of the calendar year.Alderman Koch asked for clarification on the water source
meetings.Administrator Olson explained the September 15,2021,meeting would be all three towns with
